Class IV Laser: Safety goggles for OWSII are located in room 158 in the metal shelf next to the door. There are two pairs: a pair from GPT offering protection from 190-400 nm light as well as 840-1070 nm light, and a pair from Amazon offering protection from 740-1100 nm of light. OWS II uses a Class IV Spectra-Physics Millennia-Pro (SN#E2362) diode-pumped solid-state CW laser and a Class IV Spectra-Physics Tsunami (SN#1561G) Ti:Sapph pulsed laser.

Scientists and StaffBing Dai (shown above with the OWS II) is the lead scientist at LOCI for developing hardware control solutions for OWS II and lead developer of the in-house laser scanning program for improved functionality. Rui Xu assists Bing with OWS II optical alignment and LabVIEW FPGA/C++ coding for fundamental hardware drivers for digital waveform generation, line/pixel clock generation, and data acquisition (photon counting).
